00:20It's so painful because...
00:24That's the pain that Peton Biazon's family felt
00:28after he lost his job.
00:32Biazon's family responded to the robbery in Barangay 281, Binondo, Manila, yesterday early in the morning.
00:37The officers called the two-way radio
00:41and they saw that someone was pushing an e-bike.
00:45Usually, when someone pushes an e-bike,
00:48it's our suspect who steals it.
00:51When the officers called, they caught him.
00:55Peton and his colleagues were cornered.
00:59But...
01:00There was a commotion
01:03and that's when our suspect came out of hiding.
01:09He was stabbed once in the neck.
01:12The victim was rushed to the hospital but he died instantly.
01:16We can't accept what happened
01:19because that person is a good person.
01:22His parents and siblings helped him.
01:25He gave us all his salary.
01:29He died in such a brutal incident.
01:33The suspect escaped immediately after following the victim's footsteps.
01:37But he was also caught in a place not far from the crime scene
01:41after being tracked by the police.
01:45Through CCTV, we found out his whereabouts.
01:48A murder weapon was recovered that the suspect used to follow him.
01:51The suspect defended himself.
01:53He stabbed me.
01:55I didn't plan to fight.
01:58I just wanted to protect myself.
02:01When he stabbed me again,
02:03I didn't expect him to follow me.
02:09I was holding a screwdriver.
02:12The suspect asked for forgiveness.
02:14He was ready to arrange for the victim's family.
02:17We will fight.
02:19We won't let what happened to my brother happen again.
